Two suspected drug dealers have been arrested after Lancashire Police carried out drugs raids in Skelmersdale.

Officers from the force’s Nemesis Team - which deals with gang related crime - carried out the two warrants at addresses in the Abbystead area.

In total, 1.7kg of amphetamine was found in the raid, along with smaller quantities of other controlled drugs, while the force also released images of weapons which were recovered from the property, including a machete-style knife.

Amphetamine is a Class B drug and is used as a stimulant.

Two Skelmersdale men, aged 28 and 26, were arrested on suspicion of drugs supply offences and taken into custody.
